Overcoming Dictatorships explores art produced in response to the collapse of political authoritarian systems, particularly that of the Soviet bloc in 1989. The 17 works (by ten artists from six different countries) deal with processes of mourning, remembering and overcoming the past, and engage critically with new dictatorships, questioning western economic uniformities and collective political identities.
